Yin Shixiu spoke confidently to Yin Huaiyu.
Yin Huaiyu raised his eyebrow and looked at Yin Shixiu, “How do you… know so much detail?”
“Because your mom told me everything.”
“…” Yin Huaiyu pursed his lips again, seemingly hesitant.
Yin Shixiu took a deep breath and looked earnestly at Yin Huaiyu, “Your mom and I won’t separate, and before you grow up and start your own family, we won’t be apart from you either. Except for death, nothing, no one, can separate our family.”
“…”
“Huang’er, I don’t know why you’re so worried, but Dad can assure you, your worries are unnecessary.”
Yin Shixiu thought he’d been clear, but—
Yin Huaiyu waved his hand towards Yin Shixiu and sighed, “Dad, I think your sense of crisis is too small! I just feel that those approaching Mom have ulterior motives! Mom is too kind and easily deceived! Even if Xiao Xiaoang is still young, even if he has ill intentions, he lacks the courage, but his dad is different!”
“Oh? How is his dad different?”
Yin Shixiu realized that his son was acting just like a “protective wolf cub” over its food.
If he were to describe it…
His attitude towards Xiao Xiaoang now is probably like his own defensive attitude towards Ren Yixuan back then…
Honestly, this “protective” mindset, he wasn’t really in a position to educate or correct Yin Huaiyu.
However… sitting opposite Yin Huaiyu like this, listening to him speak his mind, might be a good breakthrough point.
“His dad is young, handsome, and although he looks like a pretty boy, he’s a doctor! I know many girls in my class love those pretty boys in white coats from TV dramas!”
“But Dad, while you’re very handsome, aren’t you less young than him?”
Yin Huaiyu looked seriously at Yin Shixiu, in a position to “help you analyze, help you increase your sense of crisis”.
Yin Shixiu’s face darkened with each circle of analysis.
“You’ve been married to Mom for so many years now, hasn’t the novelty worn off?”
“…”
“If you make even the slightest mistake, the Xiao family father and son will definitely seize the opportunity!”
“Phew, Yin Huaiyu, where did all this imagination come from?”
“Dad, you haven’t seen Xiao Xiaoang’s dad! I’m your son, and I’ll speak the truth; girls definitely like that type!”
“Your mom isn’t a girl.” Yin Shixiu reminded him in a low voice.
Yin Huaiyu quickly shook his head, “Dad, with that thought, my sense of crisis is even heavier.”
“…”
Yin Shixiu was also inexplicably anxious by Yin Huaiyu’s startled demeanor.
“People say a good husband will spoil his wife into a girl! And absolutely cannot stop treating her as a girl just because she gets older!”
“Stop, stop, hold it there, Yin Huaiyu, where did you hear all this?”
“…The teacher said it.”
“Which teacher?”
“…Which other teacher? Zhou Guangren.”
“…” Yin Shixiu took a shallow breath, thinking he should find a good opportunity to sit down and have tea with Mr. Zhou Guangren.
“Dad, don’t interrupt me, let me finish! Xiao Xiaoang doesn’t like his stepmother at all, he completely treats my mom like his mom! You haven’t had a meal with them, you wouldn’t know!”
“…”
Yin Huaiyu looked at Yin Shixiu and saw that he seemed to be moved, so he immediately added fuel,
“Besides, look at my mom—beautiful and fair-skinned, kind and cute personality! She’s really easy to deceive! Although she just slapped me, I’m hurt, but she’s still my mom, right?”
“It’s good you have this mindset.”
Yin Shixiu quickly responded, because the main point of the conversation was just this.
“Alright, I’ve heard what you said, Dad will handle it properly, okay?” Yin Shixiu patted his head.
Yin Huaiyu saw Yin Shixiu’s expression and knew he was being brushed off. The little guy was anxious inside, yet… someone was still pretending to be calm and deep!
“Dad, mark my words, if Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiaoang ever take Mom away, I’ll go with Mom.”
“…”
Yin Shixiu raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, who had wiped away his tears and continued tidying up…
He paused, was Huaiyu implying… Mom’s position in his heart is much higher than that of his dad?
Why, why?
Yin Shixiu couldn’t understand this.
The conversation between father and son was about to conclude, and the room quieted down, only to hear slight giggles from outside…
The ears of both the big and small were perked up, their eyes looking towards the door… and then they saw Su Xiaomeng walk in.
Yin Huaiyu was surprised, thinking, could Mom have been eavesdropping outside the door?
“Cough cough…”
Su Xiaomeng cleared her throat and spoke proudly to Yin Shixiu, “It seems my latter half of life is secured.”
“…”
“If you don’t treat me well, I’ll leave, and both son and daughter will want to go with me.”
Xiao Meng leaned against the doorway, leisurely admiring her freshly done light pink nails.
Yin Shixiu walked to her side, “Oh, come on, let’s go back to our room and talk.”
“Talk about what?” Su Xiaomeng asked and before she finished, she was already being pulled away by Yin Shixiu.
“Hey hey… I haven’t talked to my son yet! Huang’er, I heard everything you said…”
The tremor at the end of Su Xiaomeng’s sentence lingered in the wind, and Yin Huaiyu stood at his desk, looking like he had been dealt a blow…
He was famously taciturn, rarely opening up and facing Yin Shixiu directly, but now everything had been overheard by Mom…
And what he said was still…
When Shuangshuang came in, she saw her brother’s face was flushed all the way to his neck…
“Wow, brother, your face is so red, are you having a fever?”
“…”
“Hmm hmm, he must be feeling guilty!”
Shuangshuang said as she leaned against the tatami, casually mentioning, “Xiao Xiaoang is just a cute little brother, he can’t take Mom away.”
“…”
“In the world, Mom loves brother, me, and Dad most.”
Yin Huaiyu felt a hint of emotion, and quietly sat down, continuing to tidy up his things in silence.
